Living in Buckeye

We are a young, vibrant community with some of the best home values in the Valley of the Sun.  As a Buckeye resident, you will quickly become instantly familiar with the "5 C's" of Arizona:  cotton, cattle, citrus, climate and copper. All have played a major part in Buckeye's development.

Being located just 35 miles west of Buckeye, Buckeye residents can take advantage of all the amenities found in a metropolitan city and throughout its western suburbs, and then return to the quiet comforts of home. Residents who to call Buckeye home have found a great place to live, work and discover the best that Arizona has to offer. 

Buckeye celebrates Countryfest in the fall, Pioneer Days in the spring, and a great family Fourth of July.  A local tradition is the Helzapoppin Days. The festivities included street dances, a parade, carnival and a rodeo. Proceeds are given to local churches that distribute the funds to the needy and for scholarships.

Virtually every major mode of transportation makes Buckeye accessible from multiple points. The Town of Buckeye sits on the state’s largest untapped groundwater aquifer, the Hassayampa River Basin. Majestic views of the White Tank Mountains from every vantage point create a unique and unparalleled landscape. 

We also have 3 excellent golf courses:  Sundance Golf Club, Raven Golf Club and Copper Canyon Golf Club.  A popular recreation destination in Buckeye is the Buckeye Hills Recreation Area, located 7 miles south of downtown Buckeye.
